The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1887-05-18

Up to the average. In the display move
ments the division did well, though the
Knights were somewhat confused on one or
two of the forms
After thirty minutes drill they retired,
and the Capitol Citys, also of Atlanta
marched into the field. They did consider
ably better with the sword exercise, but not
to any great extent In their marching
and counteTmarching they executed the
fours and twos was well done. Failure to
keep step and imperfect alignment seemed
70 be their worst errors. After twenty-five
minutes drill they retired
DuGuesclin Division, of Savannah, then
gave an exhibition drill, not contesting for
the prize, and won the admiration Of the
spectators and visiting Knights by their
free and easy movements. Capt. Harmon
is an excellent commander, aud he COM
municated his enthusiasm to his men and
they drilled with minds intent on their
work. The sword exercise bothered the
division some, but the greater portion %
the drill was exceedingly creditable.
THE INSPECTION.
After the drill the regimental line was
formed and was inspected by the Judges, and
Capt. Harmon acting as Colonel, and staff
After the inspection the regiment passed in
review. MANY errors were made by the
reviewed the Tegimental line was reformed
and Capitol City division was marched in
front Of the judges Capt Branch in few
brief but very kindly words awarded the
prize. The division then marched to its
place, the review was over and the divisions
marched homeBard At the corner of Bull
and CASTOR streets Sir Lieutenant Colonel
Harmon captured the entire corps, marched
them into his hospitable residence and dis
pensed the famous artillery punch. After
escorting the grand officers to their quarters
the Knights returned to their quarters.
THE PRIZE.
The prize is pair of beautiful oxydized
bronze placques representing peace"
and "War." The figures are in bold relief
and stand out prominently. In WAR" a
wild charge of mounted troops, with car
mage and desolation all about them, is rep
resented. The burning home, the slain un-
faces of the wild riders tell the story
plainly. "Peace" represents quiet rural
scene, farmer blowing in the foreground
and quiet, happy homes in the distance.
The souvenirs will add much to the decora-
ton of Capitol City's lodge room. The con-
testing divisions from Atlanta and Du
Gueschlin division entered sixteen men in
the drill each for the prize and exhibition
drills, as follows:
